The budget of the country has its overall effect upon the various sectors of the economy.The concept of growth fear is partly met as it is growing fast. But achieving the development indicators is very far to reach. Growing Inequality is the best example.

As i told earlier in my posts the stock market is not at all looking good.Indian stock market is continuously falling because of lot of selling taking place in every rise,that's what the volatile movement continues.stay calm in this bearish market,otherwise one can take PUT options. if the downside movement continues Nifty will go down to 5050,4925,4835,4734.Sensex may come down 6 to 8% on Feb 28th or Feb 29. Reliance power announced bonus of 3 shares for every 5 shares held with investor's,because of this news you can see some spurt on Reliance power today(Monday).it will go up to 470-500 range during this range one can exit this counter and go for Siemens (Rs 1570).Record date is march 3rd to get bonus shares of 1:1.

The board of Reliance Power Ltd approved a 3-for-5 bonus share.The bonus issue of three shares for every five held will bring down the cost of Reliance Power shares to Rs269 for retail investors, as against a discounted offer price of Rs430, and Rs281 for institutions compared with an offer price of Rs450, said Anil Ambani, chairman, Reliance-Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group (R-Adag), in a conference on Sunday. The founder-promoters of the company, including Ambani and Reliance Energy Ltd, who together hold 90% of Reliance Power’s equity, will not be issued bonus shares. The promoters, however, had acquired shares in Reliance Power at Rs17 each.

Ambani, also the non-executive chairman of Reliance Power, said he was giving up 2.6% of his shareholding in Reliance Power to Reliance Energy, which owns about 45% of Reliance Power, so its ownership structure remains intact. After the bonus issue and this transfer, Ambani’s stake in Reliance Power will fall 5 percentage points to 40%, while public shareholding will rise to 15%.

Reliance Power has sought an enquiry by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi), the stock market regulator, into “hammering” of the stock price, Ambani said.

Reliance Power plans to set up 13 plants with 28,200MW of generating capacity in five years, one-third of India’s planned projects in power. However, the first of these plants will only start production in 2010 and the company is unlikely to report strong profits for five years.

The merger of Centurion Bank of Punjab (CBoP) with HDFC Bank is proceeding at a brisk pace. While the boards of both the banks today gave their in-principle approvals to the merger, they will meet again on Feb25(Monday) to consider the swap ratio and later on Feb28(Thursday) to consider the draft scheme of amalgamation.

Initially centurion bank has acquired BankMuscat's Indian operations in 2003,followed by Bank of punjab in 2005,then it became centurion bank of punjab(CBOP).now HDFC acquiring CBOP,so that HDFC bank will become very strong. Already HDFC has a strong presence in western and southern india,but CBOP has its strong presence in north india.

Sources at both the banks did not give a deadline as to when the entire merger process would be completed. Both the banks have already appointed valuers to suggest a share swap ratio. Market observers, who expect an all-stock deal, are speculating a swap ratio in the range of one share of HDFC Bank for 15-20 shares of CBoP.HDFC Bank's last traded price Rs1474.Centurion bank of punjab's last traded price is Rs 58

As i told earlier market went down around 400 points in two days,volatality will continue before budget sensex will go down upto 16500 to 17000 range so one should be very careful in this indian volatile market.At the same time our india's fundamentals are really looking strong.In long term prespective sensex will touch 2100 to 22000 range before end of 2008 according to technical analysis,In near term the volatality will continue.Feb 28&29 is the crucial days for indian stock market.During those days we can buy some postions so wait and watch as of now.

For the past two days the way indian stock market behaves is not good, At particular point some kind of buying should continue for a week.But here the market moved in sideways only,In every rise huge selling is taking place,one could not able to do intraday,if the market looking positive one can sell the positions eventhough it's cost to cost or less loss, because market will fall within friday(Feb22).during that time you can cover the positons,so that you can make some amount of profit. According to my prespective only trading is good for this situation.

A main feature of this budget is that it is the last budget to be presented by the current government before it faces the general elections next year. Therefore, it will be targeted at getting votes. This means that it could well be a `populist` budget with pay-off's for voters in terms of lower taxes. Another possibility is that tax rates are left unchanged for corporate, but there are a host of announcements on increased outlays to social sectors like education and health.The main challenges that this budget also needs to address are (i) inflation, (ii) the slowdown in the GDP, particularly in the manufacturing sector, (iii) a much tougher global environment and its impact on growth through the external sector in the months ahead and (iv) a rising subsidy burden, which does not fully reflect in the fiscal deficit. Therefore, on balance,all the broking house's expects that the key features of this budget will be as given below:

Reduction in direct tax rates for individuals but not for corporates Some reduction or elimination of dividend distribution tax.

Rationalization of excise duties, including the auto sector.

Rationalization of exemptions for corporates.

Lower customs duties for commodities to contain inflation and rationalization of inconsistencies.

Enhanced credit availability for the agriculture sector.

A sharp increase in the outlays for social sectors like health and educationI expect the sectors to be positively impacted by the budget are auto, capital goods, cement, construction, FMCG, logistics, oil and gas, metals, fertilizers and pharmaceuticals. However, it expect largely neutral for the sectors like media, telecom, information technology and real estate.

The government on Thursday night appointed National Securities Depository Ltd chairman & managing director Chandrasekhar Bhaskar Bhave as the sixth chairman of the Securities and Exchange Board of India(SEBI).

Rural electrification Corporation (REC) is the prime lender for the power sector,Which is going to hit the indian capital market with a public issue. Issue opens tomorrow(Feb19) closes Feb 22. India's huge power deficit and its position as a country that has one of the lowest per capita power consumption of 600 units (world average of 2,500 units) has led the government to pursue policies to attract public and private investments into the Indian power sector. This means huge demand for funds for setting up projects and hence, benefits for sector specific specialised financing organisations like Power Finance Corporation (PFC) and Rural Electrification Corporation (REC). REC is seeking to partner an infrastructure to enter electricity distribution.The company had last year floated a wholly-owned subsidiary - REC Power Distribution Company Ltd (RPDCL) - to promote and develop distribution systems. However, the subsidiary is proposed to be converted into a joint venture to enable REC diversify its range of offerings. RPDCL has also entered into an agreement with Jodhpur Vitran Nigam Ltd for supervision and inspection of village electrification work under the Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyuthikaran Yojana (RGGVY). In medium term point of view one can subscribe to REC @cutoff price.

Reliance Power Ltd(Anil Ambani group) decided to issue bonus shares to all categories of investers,excluding the promoters comprising Reliance Energy and ADA Group.This decision is going to be finalised in the meeting of its Board of Directors on Feb 24. the company listed on indian stock market on Feb 11.Reliance power's Initial Public Offering which was offered for retail investors at Rs.430 a share and institutional investors at Rs.450 a share. But in the listing day itself it went down around 16% of its issue price Rs 450 during the closing it went to Rs 373. so all the investers was disappointed and they are very angry on anil ambani. This is the first time thatan issue bearing the Reliance tag had failed to make money for investors in the very first day. The company has written to the SEBI denanding on investigation into the market manipulation. After Rel.power board meet on FEb 24 only we can get an clear picture about the bonus ratio and other details. because of this news today (monday) you can see an upside movement in Reliance power.

The United Progrssive Allaiance(UPA) government on thursday increased the prices of petrol by Rs 2 and diesel by Re 1.The revision will came into effect from yesterday(Thursday) midnight.Eventhough they are getting strong opposition from the supporting left parties.But according my prespective government movement is correct,the reason for this hike in oil prices is due to international crude prices,crude oil prices went upto $100/barrel. But at the same time the government can reduce the taxes on petrol &diesel,sothat there maybe an chance to reduce the oil prices by 5opaisa t0 Re 1.

Due to this petrol and diesel price hike oil major like IOC,BPCL,HPCL and other related oil and gas co's Reliance petrol,Essar oil,RNRL stocks went up by around 10%.major contributors(IOC,BPCL,HPCL) will get Rs 500 to 800 crore. so oil sectors having good substantial growth in future also, one can invest in oil sectors in long term prespective.

For the past 4 trading session's indian stock market continuously went down due to US economy slow down and the weakness in global markets.today some Relief rally came in indian stock market in the morning trading session,Sensex went around 500 points up and came back and during closing Sensex is up by 341 points(16949),Nifty up by 91 points(4929).for the past two days market is in high volatile movement so without experiance one could not able to trade in this market.experts saying that FII's selling their positions continuously.still indian stock market is most attractive one for more number of FII's.our economy is fundamentally very strong.for long term investers there won't be any problem at all,only day traders and short term investers are facing some problems,within 1 or 2 month's market will move in a steady state.Don't panic,stay calm for some time,right time will come.

Reliance Power, which had a disastrous debut, went down by 17.25% from its issue price to Rs 372.30. On the National Stock Exchange, around 134.3 million shares were traded at the Reliance Power counter today.

Most expected Reliance power went down 16% it closed around 373.the reason is very simple As all of you already aware that this(Reliance power) is a biggest issue in an indian capital market.Also the issue price is Rs 450 is too much according to valuations.Because at present they are producing 600MW only,by 2010 they will produce more power.But at present NTPC is producing 36,500MW(approximately)power.similarly Tata power is also producing good amount of power.compared to Reliance power NTPC,Tata power,Neyveli lignite,are far better according to valuations,only because of the name sake Reliance we have invested such a huge amount.

Everybody including both retail investers and HNI category people and others all came to gether to sell Reliance power due to fear of this bearish market thats why it went down upto 16%

The issue price has been fixed at Rs 450. The stock will be part of NSE F&O, the lot size is of 450 shares and options strike priced between Rs 10-1350.
